On 13 February 2026, the Interreg Aurora funded project CLAP was invited to an event where the County Administrative Board of Norrbotten hosted the Swedish Crown Princess Victoria on the Bothnian Sea outside Luleå.
CLAP is a project running from 2024 to 2026, aimed at building climate change adaptation capacity within the management of protected areas in northern Norway, Sweden, and Finland.
During the early daylight hours, the Crown Princess tested the electric snowmobile currently being evaluated within CLAP as a way to reduce emissions from nature management during fieldwork. She took several laps on the snow‑covered ice in –25°C conditions.
Afterwards, Anna Berhan and Ida Nutti from the County Administrative Board of Norrbotten presented the CLAP project to the interested Crown Princess and County Governor Lotta Finstorp, while they enjoyed a warming cup of coffee by the fire.
